How to convert kilobytes to terabytes
TB = kB × 1×10⁻⁹Multiply the value in kilobytes by 1×10⁻⁹. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000,000,000 (or divide by 1×10⁻⁹).
A kilobyte is smaller than a terabyte: it takes 1,000,000,000 kilobytes to make one terabyte.

About the units
Kilobyte (kB)
1,000 bytes (decimal). Some software still uses “KB” for 1,024 bytes; that is properly a kibibyte (KiB). One kilobyte equals 8,000 bits (b).
Terabyte (TB)
10¹² bytes. Hard drives and SSDs are marketed in decimal terabytes. One terabyte equals 8,000,000,000,000 bits (b).
Frequently asked questions
How many terabytes are in one kilobyte?
There are 1×10⁻⁹ terabytes in one kilobyte, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilobytes to terabytes?
Multiply the number of kilobytes by 1×10⁻⁹. For example, 10 kB × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁸ TB.
How many kilobytes are in one terabyte?
One terabyte equals 1,000,000,000 kilobytes. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1×10⁻⁹.
What is 10 kilobytes in terabytes?
10 kB = 1×10⁻⁸ TB.
Is this kB to TB converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
